Shoutout to awesome 5th grade teachers who encourage a ❤️ of literature. My daughter’s class just finished reading HOLES by Louis Sachar. Today they watched the movie, ate onion dip & ice cream with sploosh on top, and played games. She came home w/ the biggest smile on her face. https://t.co/HBt4J2YtaH
